Fluentd v1 will focus on providing a stable and pluggable architecture for log forwarding and processing. Key features include a new configuration format that allows embedding Ruby code, improved filtering and labeling of events, and an error stream for handling errors. Other potential improvements include multi-processing support, zero downtime restarts, an actor framework, and JRuby/Windows compatibility. td-agent2 will upgrade the core libraries and use the new v1 configuration by default.
